Dave Bartram LOVES this idea

Dave replied enthusiastically to email asking him to be a team photographer.  He wrote, "I just LOVE this idea. I've been working on the GPS tree mapping project with Russell and Herb Minkus. I've also been working with Gordon Clift to map the trails at Medford Leas. One of the things we envisioned was being able to highlight particular things and places, such as the Fringe tree and then share it with residents via the Internet. One of the things that I can add to this blog, as well as what you asked for is geographic information - either a map or a Google Earth overlay. So when you run an entry on the Fringe Tree, I could have a map or Google Earth view of exactly where it is. This would work better for things on the trail where it's not so obvious where it is. For example some special flower or tree or something. Anyway, I am very anxious to participate. ... This is a great, great idea. Dave.
